ADHD AND TOURETTE SYNDROME

Couldn't help but respond. My son will be 8 in April. He has Tourettes, ADHD, OCD, ODD. We used to be on Adderal, but had to go on Risperdal to counteract the effects(it brought on more tics, made the Tourettes worse). We found a new psychiatrist who is absolutely wonderful, a gentleman by the name of Dr. Zaidi. We now have him on Tenex & Prozac,and Clonidine for the nights he can't sleep and are also taking him for well-care with a chiropractor (which seems to be helping, no tics!!).
